Dragon Ball Z 3: Original Soundtrack (ドラゴンボールZ3 オリジナルサウンドトラック DoragonbōruZetto Surī Orizinaru Saundotoratuku?) is the official licensed soundtrack of the video games for the PS2 by the same name (Known as Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 3 in English speaking countries). It was released by Team Entertaiment on March 2, 2005 in Japan only. Like its predecessor Dragon Ball Z & Z 2 Original Soundtrack this album contains a collaboration of American as well as Japanese artists. American credits include Steve Lukather guitarist of the 80's rock band Toto and 70's R&B Soul Funk band Tower of Power, but despite these credits the album remains a Japanese exclusive. The opening theme Ore wa Tokoton Tomaranai is performed by Hironobu Kageyama.

[edit] Album Information
As it's title suggest this release stays focused on tracks that are heard exclusively the game unlike it's predecessor that focused on the first two games on a single disc. as a result the soundtrack's track list appears to contain a more complete selection. However, many compositions that were featured throughout trilogy's story modes which were left out of the previous soundtrack were also overlooked. Which many fans have found disappointing prompting many to rip copies of the tracks straight from the game itself. Ironically, many of these and a few cuts from the previous soundtrack were use for the North American release of Budokai Tenkaichi due to the fact that at the time of that game's release nether Funimation nor Atari had secured rights to the the compositions by the anime's composer Shunsuke Kikuchi which was used in that game. The cuts used appear to have rip straight from this album as they don't loop as they did in the Budokai games. Like the previous soundtrack Z & Z 2, the back of the album's jewel case feature track listings in both Japanese as well as English. But the English is not a direct translation, but instead the name that was given when the game was released as Budokai 3. Which gives the impression that the soundtrack producers anticipated a great deal of importing from fans in English speaking countries just like it's predecessor. The theme song "Ore wa Tokoton Tomaranai!!", is only presented in this collection it's TV size version as it was heard at the beginning of the game. Fortunately the full version of this song was released as a single coupled with Budokai 2's opening theme "Kusuburu Heart ni Hi o Tsukero!!" also performed by Kageyama.
